ATU 757 -TriMet Max: A Series of Disasters Waiting to Happen

TriMet workers say that open doors on traveling trains are just the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to delayed maintenance on what used to be a renowned transit system. According to Bruce Hansen, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union, management has been alerted repeatedly to dangerous problems on the light rail system, yet has failed to take action.

"Our workers are afraid that a passenger, a member of the public or one of their co-workers is going to be injured or killed. It's that simple," explained Hansen.

Can never have enough light rail

All MAX lines are disrupted due to a minor collision between an auto and a train near the Steel Bridge. Expect delays.
